## Summary

The procurement process for the public transport services titled "18/1314 Community Services Transport AS012 AS031 AS045" was conducted by Moray Council, a regional authority in Elgin, Scotland. This procurement, classified under the CPV code 60170000 for "Hire of passenger transport vehicles with driver," is in the services category and covers the Moray region (UKM62). The current stage of the process is marked as "complete" with contracts already signed on 10th March 2026. The procurement followed an "award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition" due to the lack of suitable tenders in a previous attempt, which led to a contractual agreement with Maynes Coaches Ltd. The total contract value is GBP 195,085.5.

This tender offers significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly those specialising in passenger transport services. With a heavy weighting on price (80%) and quality (20%) as award criteria, it presents an attractive chance for cost-competitive bidders. The procurement allows for a potential one-year extension, providing further business growth opportunities. Maynes Coaches Ltd, a local SME, secured the contract, showcasing that businesses with existing local contacts and operational efficiencies are well-suited for such tenders. This procurement also underscores the importance of flexibility and readiness to step in where other competitors may have faltered, making it a promising opportunity for adaptable and innovative transport service providers.
